In 2010, over 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. On average, one in three people will be involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime.
If you haven't already been touched by drunk driving, there is a good chance you or someone you care about will be.
Therefore, I am petitioning the Government and the Alcohol Industry to sponsor a study that involves 1.) designing a two or three hour Drinking Alcohol Responsibly Course, 2.) educating one thousand people who are turning 21 on Drinking Alcohol Responsibly, and 3.) tracking those individuals over a period of time to see whether there is a reduction in drunk driving. I'm hoping preparing young people to drinking alcohol responsibly will reduce drunk driving.
